What is the value of x in the equation -6/7 equals x/84
Question
Answer:
Solve for x:(-6)/7 = x/84
(-6)/7 = x/84 is equivalent to x/84 = (-6)/7:
x/84 = -6/7
Multiply both sides of x/84 = (-6)/7 by 84:
(84 x)/84 = (-6×84)/7
(84 (-6))/7 = (84 (-6))/7:
(84 x)/84 = (-6×84)/7
(84 x)/84 = 84/84×x = x:
x = (-6×84)/7
